Diamonds may be forever, but cell phones a significantly shorter life expectancy.

Which is why I fundamentally don't get diamond encrusted cell phones like the new Peter Aloisson version of the Nokia E90. Costing about $80,00 and featuring 408 handset 18 carat diamonds, the pimped out Nokia E90 has a diamond weight of 9.86 cts and a diamond quality of VVSI – IF (LC).

And no; I have no idea what the hell I just said.

It turns out those people who will wait on line for days just to see a new Star Wars movie aren’t though only ones a little too obsessed with being first. One Hartono Gunawan of Indonesia just bought the first Nokia E90 Communicatorput on sale by Nokia; parting with a mind boggling $5,000 for the exclusive honor.

Am I the only one starting to notice cell phones are more and more starting to resemble Transformers action figures?
